One Missed Call

One Missed Call, is the Hollywood remake of Japanese film 'Chakushin ari'. Sky Movies described it as, 'A group of students receive phone calls from their future selves, warning of their impending, gruesome deaths. Can anything stop the signal? Murderous mobile mayhem.'Oh my fucking days.

In all fairness, the only reason i watched the film was i kind of have a thing for Shannyn Sossamon who stars as the leading role of Beth. Beth's friends all start to get voice messages on their mobiles of themselves screaming and dieing in the future. Then they die, while all sucking a red piece of candy. Fuck me. The plot and film dribbles on for nearly 90 minutes. 90 minutes of my life I've wasted when i could of spent that time building a raft, shooting beer bottles with a BB gun or even curing Crohn's disease, but instead I've achieved none of these heightened senses possibly achievable in an hour and a half.

You know when you go to the cinema and there are those Orange adverts with a bunch of movie exec's and someone like Kevin Spacey, and the producers want to make the sole plot of the film revolve around a mobile phone, well its like it finally happened, but this film is even shitter. How it got a rating of 3.4 on IMDB i will never know.

Also, one of my cats had shit the living room so that only added to the film's intensity.
